My uncle just eMailed me saying that my older cousin Seth, will be getting deployed to Iraq. He's in the Navy and is a Medic. What and where he will be going or doing, i do not know at this time. But, idk, if people could maybe say a little prayer or whatever, or, maybe people can relate to this, I really don't know. It just sucks to know my cousin is going there, and I posted it here because i wanna know if people have gone or had relatives go.

One of my cousins (2nd removed, I think) is getting ready to head to Iraq too. There's not much you can do but hope he stays safe and just let the powers that be protect him. Some things are simply out of your control.

In any case, you must remember that if that individual is doing this for the passion of their own heart, may God bless them for it. He is likely doing it because he wants to, so hopefully he experiences everything he has hoped for.

In any case, may God bless and guide him, and I shall pray for him to have a safe experience.

Yeah, he did enlist for a reason but man this couldn't have come at a worse time. Life is just one stack of bad shit on top of the other at the moment. and this is the ONE thing I cant control and its probably the worst, but like Baha said, may God bless him. And like D88 said, may we respect him for what he and our fellow countrymen are called to do.
